The Unproven Detective Narrates a City Murder
An amateur detective recounts sizing up a stranger on a Berdan Avenue car, linking a Beech Street murder to a suspect Bill Wheeler, and exposes the police chain of evidence as flawed while noting the killer was an innocent man in a wrongful conviction. The tale critiques professional methods and public sensationalism in a 1893 setting.
